Ultimate Magus in Cultivation World-Chapter 259: Train XIX

Yue stayed close to Ling.

"...Together. Watch for any movement."

Lei Feng pointed out a few loose stones.

"...Step lightly. Step by step."

Step by step, the team moved across the open stretch. Birds and small animals scattered at their approach, but no threats appeared. The rise ahead promised more cover, and the team pressed on, alert and coordinated, ready for the next pause.

As they neared the rise, the ground became uneven with small stones and loose soil. Ling raised her hand to slow the team.

"Careful here," she said. "Step by step. Keep spacing and stay alert."

Han Yi adjusted his footing and scanned the valley below.

"...Good view from here... nothing unusual."

Mu Chen held his staff ready.

"...Edges clear. Watch carefully."

Yue stayed close to Ling.

"...Together. Watch your steps."

Lei Feng pointed out a few loose stones.

"...Step lightly. Step by step."

With careful, coordinated movements, the team climbed the rise. At the top, the valley narrowed slightly, and small bushes and trees offered partial cover. Ling paused to let the team catch their breath.

"Short pause here," she said. "Check your gear, drink water if needed. Then we move carefully into the next section. Step by step, together."

After a brief rest, Ling signaled them to continue.

"Alright. The next section is open, but we have some scattered cover ahead. Stay alert, keep spacing, and move carefully. Step by step."

Han Yi stood first.

"...Ready. Let’s go."

Mu Chen scanned the surroundings.

"...Eyes open. Nothing unusual." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Yue fell in beside Ling.

"...Together."

Lei Feng led slightly ahead, pointing out uneven patches.

"...Careful. Step by step."

The team moved steadily down the slope, alert and coordinated, toward the next part of the valley where small trees and bushes offered shade.

As they descended, the trees became denser, giving more cover. Ling raised her hand to slow the team.

"Almost there," she said. "Step carefully, keep spacing, and stay alert. Step by step, together."

Han Yi scanned the ground.

"...Good footing... nothing unusual."

Mu Chen kept his staff ready.

"...Edges clear. Watch carefully."

Yue stayed close to Ling.

"...Together. Don’t let your guard down."

Lei Feng pointed out small rocks.

"...Step lightly. Step by step."

The team moved into the shade, finally reaching the next covered area. They paused to drink water, adjust packs, and catch their breath. Ling quickly scanned the surroundings.

"Short rest done," she said. "The next stretch will be open again. Stay alert, keep spacing, and move carefully. Step by step."

Han Yi stood first.

"...Ready. Let’s go."

Mu Chen gave one last look around.

"...Eyes open. Nothing unusual."

Yue fell in beside Ling.

"...Together."

Lei Feng led slightly ahead.

"...Careful. Step by step."

The team stepped out from the shade, moving steadily across the next stretch. Small bushes and scattered trees offered occasional cover. Step by step, they advanced, alert and coordinated, toward the next rise in the valley.

The valley widened, and the rise ahead led to a small cluster of trees. Ling raised her hand.

"Open ground ahead," she said. "We’re exposed here. Keep spacing, watch the edges, and move carefully. Step by step, together."

Han Yi adjusted his pack and scanned the area.

"...Eyes open. Nothing unusual yet."

Mu Chen held his staff ready, eyes sweeping the sides.

"...Step carefully. Stay alert."

Yue stayed close to Ling.

"...Together. Watch for any movement."

Lei Feng pointed out small rocks and dips.

"...Step lightly. Step by step."

Step by step, the team moved across the open stretch, alert and coordinated. The trees ahead offered the next pause and shade.

As they reached the base of the rise, the team slowed, Ling raising her hand to signal caution.

"Careful here," she said. "Step by step. Keep spacing and stay alert."

Han Yi scanned the ground ahead.

"...Good footing... nothing unusual."

Mu Chen held his staff ready, eyes moving along the valley sides.

"...Edges clear. Watch carefully."

Yue stayed close to Ling.

"...Together. Don’t let your guard down."

Lei Feng pointed out a few loose stones.

"...Step lightly. Step by step."

Step by step, the team climbed the rise. At the top, the valley narrowed again, with more clusters of small trees and bushes offering partial cover. Ling paused, letting everyone catch their breath.

"Short pause here," she said. "Check gear, drink water if needed. Then we continue carefully into the next stretch. Step by step, together."

After a brief rest, Ling signaled the team to move.

"Alright. The next section is open, with scattered cover ahead. Stay alert, keep spacing, and move carefully. Step by step."

Han Yi stood first.

"...Ready. Let’s go."

Mu Chen scanned the surroundings.

"...Eyes open. Nothing unusual."

Yue fell in beside Ling.

"...Together."

Lei Feng led slightly ahead, pointing out uneven patches.

"...Careful. Step by step."

Step by step, the team moved steadily down the slope, alert and coordinated, heading toward the next group of trees ahead.

The valley widened slightly, giving them a clear view of the open stretch. Ling raised her hand again.

"Open ground ahead," she said. "We’re exposed here. Keep spacing, watch the edges, and move carefully. Step by step, together."

Han Yi adjusted his pack and scanned the area.

"...Eyes open. Nothing unusual yet."

Mu Chen held his staff ready.

"...Step carefully. Stay alert."

Yue stayed close to Ling.

"...Together. Watch for movement."

Lei Feng pointed out small rocks along the path.

"...Step lightly. Step by step."

Step by step, the team crossed the open stretch. Birds flew up from the grass, but no immediate threats appeared. The trees at the far side offered the next pause, and the team pressed forward, alert and coordinated, ready to reach the shade.

As they reached the trees, Ling signaled the team to slow and spread out slightly.

"Good, shade ahead," she said. "Step carefully, check your footing, and stay alert. Step by step, together."

Han Yi sank onto a low rock.

"...Finally some cover... let’s rest briefly."

Mu Chen leaned against a tree, eyes scanning the surroundings.

"...Short rest, but stay alert. Step by step."

Yue checked her pack one last time.

"...All set. Ready when you are."

Lei Feng stretched briefly, looking over the valley.

"...Break done. Let’s keep moving soon."

Ling nodded, scanning the area.

"Alright. Rest over. Keep spacing, watch your footing, and stay alert. Step by step, together."

Han Yi stood first.

"...Ready. Let’s continue."
